Tips for Selling Your Junk Car

Have you decided to sell your junk car for quick cash? Along with enjoying the instant proceeds, you can also take advantage of the extra space in your garage or driveway. The simple process could not be easier and will allow you to enjoy cash on the same day. We have provided some quick advice to help the process go even more smoothly.

Request a Quote

When you contact us, a valuation expert will be sent to your location to value your vehicle. Your vehicle has value in it, no matter what its condition may be. The condition, year, make, model, size, and weight of your vehicle will help determine how much it will sell for. If your vehicle is still in good running condition, it may be sold as a pre-owned vehicle, which will result in a higher offer.

If you feel that the offer you receive is low, look up the Kelly Blue Book value of the vehicle, as well as the open market value of the vehicle’s parts, to see what it is worth. You can also call around for different quotes to find which yard will pay most. Keep in mind that you will also receive a free towing service, which can add to the value of selling your car.

Be Honest

When you call, be honest about the condition of your car, truck, van, or SUV. Inform us of any damage, previous accidents, whether it runs, and what may be wrong with it. This will speed the process along.

You will also need to be honest with yourself about the condition of your vehicle and what you are willing to do to sell it. If your vehicle is beyond repair, has high mileage, or is more than 12 years old, then there may not be many options other than selling it to a salvage yard. If you don’t want to deal with the time, hassle, and frustration of looking for a private buyer or breaking your car down for parts, then a salvage yard can instantly take the problem off of your hands.

Clean Out Your Car

Once your junk car is sold, you will never see it again. Make sure you remove any personal belongings, valuables, or items with your personal information on them because you won’t get a chance to go back for anything later.

What You’ll Need

Don’t have a title? No problem. Just make sure to let us know. Technically, all you’ll need to sell the vehicle to Messy Motors is your driver’s license and a copy of your registration, but not all yards are willing to accept junk cars without the title. If you have the title, it can be helpful and make things move along more quickly though. Contact us at 888-309-1049 for more information or to request a quote.
